The name
One life, one purpose

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand.”
Ephesians 2:10
The world reads One Life Purpose as motivation: pick a dream, chase it hard. That is not what the name is doing. It is a limit, not a launchpad. You get one life. It was assigned before you had an opinion about it, and it was paid for before you knew the price.
That changes what a purpose is. It stops being something you invent on a whiteboard and becomes something you receive and then obey. Workmanship is a craftsman's word. It means the piece did not decide its own shape.
So the daily question is smaller and harder than "what is my calling?" It is: what did He put in front of me today, and did I do it. A shift. A phone call. A person nobody else noticed. Purpose is usually that ordinary.
We print it on clothing because a limit is easy to forget. You wake up, you get dressed, and something says it back to you before the day gets loud.
